Baby woke up at 5:45. He usually wakes up at 7:30. Uuuuuuhhhhh.
They forecasted rain today and it looks like it's gonna be sunny and warm. I live near a mountain with orchard and since the apple trees are in full bloom, we can go have lunch there. My friends find this lame, SO is working. Would it be weird to go alone when a cranky baby?
We have DS's birthday party this morning at 10. One parent cancelled yesterday and another just cancelled this morning. Wtf people it's 2 hours! There were only 8 kids invited and I think there is 4 coming. Oh well. Still paying for 8. We are going to look so weird with only 4 kids at this party.

That happened to DD1 one year except it was her 8th birthday and was totally self-conscious that people cancelled. Her bday is over Spring Break and that year a lot people travelled or he family in town. Still, don't cancel people! Just show up for an hour.
emejay not lame. It's like going to have a picnic in the park.
It's supposed to rain here today too. Still not sure if our friends are coming today or not. We are waiting to the last minute to make the call if the weather will be ok. I'm guessing it will be a no go, but we'll see.
If they don't come it's going to be a weekend of cleaning. Tomorrow we'll go visit my grandma for her hone's Mother's Day celebration.

It wouldn't have been bad at all if they had cancelled 4 weeks ago, but this morning? I would have asked my sister to bring her nieces and nephews on her husbands side. I think that's just rude af. And yes, an 8 year old has it infinitely harder than a 4 year old. He won't even care, he will be too busy playing.
I'm up early here, too. S woke me up for food and is now snoozing next to me. Both boys didn't nap much yesterday, but didn't go to sleep early or sleep well.
The plans for the day include a French bakery, fancy coffee, and a three year old's birthday party. I'm sure that beer will be consumed as well!

What are you doing for his party? L's 3 year old party is at home this year, but I can see us going to a play area next year.
Almost killed my dog this morning. Dani was sitting on the floor playing, Ranger came in from outside, sprinted straight for her, and knocked her down... hard. An epic meltdown followed. He is currently in his crate until he calms the f down.
klxvi we are doing it at this place called the little pod. It's an indoor play area for kids up to 6-7 years old. Has small bounce houses, jungle gym area to climb and slide and a cafe and and its a lot of fun. They do everything except the cake. Usually the price is reasonable but I'm paying double because 8 is the minimum number to pay for. Last year we had 9 so it was worth it. This year, not so much.

You are paying for the kids and they don't show up? Unless they are feverish, his is completely rude.
Well, I messed up. Nothing was entertaining Dani, so I tried putting on Mickey Mouse. OBSESSED. As in, she is staring at the tv, unmoving, other than to giggle at it every now and then.
ETA: Why are cartoons all 3Dish now? What happened to like, normal cartoons? Also, Mickey's voice sounds weird and it's annoying me.

I put on the TV for Arthur this morning and ended up on old, 2D, not HD The Smurfs
So far this weekend: Funeral four hours away for my great aunt. I left at 5am and got back after 6pm.
Great uncle is probably hours from dying. I'll take the kids to this funeral since it will be near my mom's house. (I went to yesterday's funeral alone.)
SS took more illegal drugs--the ones that caused him to have a siezure and crack his skull last fall. MH had to run off last night within 30 minutes of my arrival to get SS out of our house.
My cat is on my shit list this morning. She was pacing the hallway outside of Owen's room singing the song of her people at 5:30am. Even the white noise machine could not drown out her shrill meows and Owen woke up very unhappy. We are going to my niece's graduation tonight. It starts at 7, which is when we start our bedtime routine. My mom volunteered to come over and put O to bed and sit at our house until we get home, but MIL had an epic shit fit that we weren't going to bring the baby. It's not like she is going to be able to really visit with him, it's going to be in a noisy packed gymnasium. We didn't bring him last week to the grad party so she said it is non negotiable this time. O does not do well at all when he is late for bed, this is going to be awful. Of course H is siding with MIL.

I'm so excited!!! I get 24 kid-free hours and a sleepover with my best friend while her boyfriend is out of town. We have been planning this for like 6 months. There will be lots of wine. I just have to plan my pumping strategically so as not to dump it all. Maybe I will STTN?!?!
Poor DH. DS1 is potty training and having a ton of accidents. And DS2 is being super clingy. I ALMOST feel bad, except that I've been doing like 90% of parenting for the last couple months.

I get so pissed when my cat starts his meowing! I find that my kids are immune to his noise, being a Siamese he is so very very vocal. So I think they hear him so much it doesn't phase them. I think he pisses me off more cause I finally get a quiet house without anyone bugging me then he starts his crying BS for attention.

I'm sorry, but MIL does not get to decide what is and isn't non negotiable with your child.
I'd tell her to get over it and do what you need to do.
Keep in mind I'm cranky with my own in laws today lol.
I'm having all the rage with my husband. He's already managed to piss the hell out of me and we've only been up for 2 hours. I think I'm gonna go out for a few hours by myself, and I'm so tempted to cancel our date night tonight. Arghh.
nomnom - hugs. That really is a lot of shit to be dealing with.
txshep - I put Little Baby Bum on YouTube on most mornings to give me another 30 mins sleep (and whenever I need to placate him) and Rafa loves it. No screen time before 2 is definitely not happening in this house. But I give zero f's.

nomnom I'm sorry you're dealing with all that. Hugs lady.
AFM, things are still rough here. DH isn't happy staying here at all for a myriad of reasons, so he's cranky and being mean. I don't know what our alternative is, though. I think he's going to have to deal, but he's making my life suck in the meantime.

Anyone care to guess what will happen next?
You win the lottery? Sorry you have been dealing with so much crap lately

Don't cancel the date - order the most expensive thing on the menu, drink too much wine and have all the desert. Then make-up sex
